Let's Go Fly a Kite!

This morning N was doodling at breakfast, and she drew this picture:

Her description: "It's me and my friend Jeremiah flying kites.  He's flying the green one and I'm flying the pink one."  Then she asked, "Could we fly my Yoda kite today?"  I checked the forecast and it called for a blustery spring day.  And so, we did.

We hiked out to an open, marshy area.

L insisted "I hold kite, Mama."  She carried it the whole way.

N said, "I want to hold Daddy's hand!"

Lovely apple blossoms on our hike

Scoping out the area

We found the right spot and I pried the kite away from L to open it up.

After some last-minute kite fixing, we were ready.

One...

Two...

Three!!!

N took a few turns holding the kite too.

We reeled the string in a little closer so that L could take a turn.

N says: "I'm worn out!!... Don't take my picture, Mama."
